In his recent post on UVM: Some Thoughts Before DVCon, Dennis outlined some great ideas about what we think should happen next for UVM. His 3rd point, "UVM needs to bridge the system domain," is particularly relevant given the newly-formed Accellera Systems Initiative. This is actually an area we've been contemplating for a while here at Mentor, and as Dennis indicated, we shared our thoughts on this … Read More

Summary of Undaunted Summary of Undaunted Reviews for Undaunted An Excerpt from Undaunted
As she did so provocatively with military spouses in Army Wives, Tanya Biank gives us the inside story of women in today's military—their professional and personal challenges from the combat zone to the home front...
Since 9/11, more than 240,000 women have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan—more than 140 have died there, and they currently make up fourteen percent of the total active-duty forces. Despite advances, today's servicewomen are constantly pressed to prove themselves, to overcome challenges men never face, and to put the military mission ahead of all other aspects of their lives, particularly marriage and motherhood. In this groundbreaking, insider's look at the women defending our nation, Tanya Biank brings to light the real issues—of femininity, belonging to an old boys' club, veiled discrimination, dating, marriage problems, separation from children, questions about life goals, career trajectories, and self-worth—that servicewomen are facing by focusing on four individual stories.
Brigadier General Angela Salinas, the Marine Corps' first Hispanic female general, faces the challenge of commanding an all-male institution. Second Lieutenant Bergan Flanagan finds herself on the frontlines in Afghanistan, serving in the same military police company as her husband. As a marine drill instructor, Sergeant Amy Stokley demands the very best from the recruits at Parris Island. And Major Candice O'Brien deals with deployment to Afghanistan, with two young children and a strained marriage back home.
Undaunted is the story of these courageous trailblazers—their struggles, sacrifices, and triumphs in the name of serving the country they love.

Bacon. Essentially it is a cured meat that comes from Sus scrofa domesticus, aka domestic pigs. The pig meat is 1st cured with brine or dry packed (stored in large amounts of salt). Either way this bacon still needs to be cooked before consumption. Some types of smoked bacon may not need to be cooked before eating.
Bacon is made from many different type of cuts. In the United States it is typically from the belly of the pig.
Bacon is awesome…..especially on a cheeseburger….or with eggs…
now Bacon Salt…
No thanks…gimme the real thing.

rituximab - injection, Rituxan
GENERIC NAME: RITUXIMAB - INJECTION (rye-TUX-ih-mab)
BRAND NAME(S): Rituxan
Warning | Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
WARNING: Rituximab may infrequently cause serious (sometimes fatal) side effects including severe breathing problems (e.g., hypoxia, pulmonary infiltrates, acute respiratory distress syndrome) or heart problems (e.g., heart attack, irregular heartbeat, low blood pressure). These effects are more likely if you already have had a serious reaction to rituximab. Your doctor will carefully watch you during treatment and may stop or slow down your treatment if you have any signs of a reaction. If these serious side effects occur, they will usually happen within two hours from the start of your first treatment (IV infusion) with rituximab. However, severe side effects might occur during any rituximab treatment, or several weeks to months after your last treatment, so keep all your follow-up appointments. Seek immediate medical attention if you have trouble breathing (e.g., cough, wheezing), itching, swelling (especially of the throat/lips), dizziness, fast/slow/irregular heartbeat, or chest pain. See also the How To Use section.
Rarely, serious (sometimes fatal) skin reactions (e.g., Stevens-Johnson syndrome) have occurred in people taking this medication. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop any rash, blisters, peeling skin, or sores. These reactions can occur weeks to months after your treatment has ended.
Rarely, a serious (sometimes fatal) brain infection (Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy-PML) has occurred in people taking this medication. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop any signs of PML, including vision problems, loss of balance/coordination, or confusion.
When large numbers of cancer cells are killed quickly, kidney failure can occur because the kidneys can have trouble getting rid of the dead cells. Tell your doctor immediately if there is a large change in the amount of urine, which could be a sign of a kidney problem. The risk is greater within the first 1-2 days after your treatment is begun. Kidney failure is more likely if you have a large number of cancer cells in the blood, a large tumor, or are being treated with cis-platinum. Laboratory tests (e.g., electrolytes, kidney function) may be performed to monitor your progress and check for side effects.
Report Problems to the Food and Drug Administration
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit the FDA MedWatch website or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Korea Times: Samsung to leapfrog iPhone 5 in FebruarySeptember 17, 2012: 7:17 AM ET
Plans to unveil the Galaxy S4 at the 2013 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona
FORTUNE -- Three weeks after Samsung lost a billion-dollar U.S. patent infringement case, and three days after Apple (AAPL) began taking orders for its latest iPhone, the South Korean manufacturer was talking to the local press about the successor to the Galaxy S3 -- the iPhone's most successful rival.
The scoop came Sunday from the Korea Times, which gave the story a decidedly pro-Samsung spin. The first two paragraphs:
Samsung Electronics plans to unveil the latest in its Galaxy line, the S4, at a European technology exhibition in February, according to company officials and local parts suppliers for the technology giant.
The timetable was released just three days after rival Apple introduced the iPhone 5, which has received a mixed response from industry experts and consumers as it is seemingly lacking in innovative features.
Among the other revelations (I quote):
- The smartphone... will be more than enough to curb Apple's latest iPhone.
- Samsung's edges in manufacturing will further shine after the patent disputes go further on.
- Samsung is confident to widen its lead over Apple, though the legal fight is a totally separate issue
- A recent ruling in the U.K. said Samsung didn't infringe on Apple's design patents.
- The release of the S4 means more market share for Samsung as it is the only firm that can guarantee on-time delivery, output commitment and better pricing for mobile application processors
- Samsung is asking Apple to pay more to use its mobile application processors produced at its plant in Austin, Texas.
According to the report, the Galaxy S4 will sport a 5-inch screen, run Google's (GOOG) Android platform and be available for purchase by March 2013 at the latest.
You can read the full Korea Times report here.
UPDATE: TheNextWeb reports that Samsung has used its official Twitter account to discredit the Korea Times story. As crudely processed by Google Translate, the tweet reads:
[Please note that some media reported speculation that the Galaxy S Ⅲ subsequent models will be released "in a simple rumor is not true. Fixed'm not doing anything, why spread these rumors? ㅜ ㅜ

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

November 12, 2012
Albemarle County hosted an animal summit Monday evening, the first meeting of its kind to address the community's concerns on a variety of animal welfare issues.
"It's an opportunity for us to bring community members together to discuss issues impacting our animal population in Albemarle County," said Lt. Robert Beck with the Albemarle County Police Department.
The panel discussion in the Lane Auditorium addressed concerns from the community and attracted dozens of people, including hunters.
No topic was off limits, varying from pet adoption to hunting. For the hunters in attendance, they wanted to make sure county ordinances don't interfere with their being able to take dogs hunting.
"What we're trying to do, and all the hunters are here tonight, is try to see if we can prevent this from happening," said hunter Charlie Proffitt.
It was a chance for the community to ask anything about animal welfare and get an answer from the panel of experts. The panel included Albemarle County Animal Control officers, a veterinarian, members of the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries and a representative from the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA.
"I think there's a lot of services out there that people might not be aware of," said Lisa Lane, director of marketing and development for the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA. "It's also a great time for people to come and get their questions answered about ordinances and rules in the community."
Albemarle County Police say they hope this is the first of many meetings on animal welfare.

Pet Care : dogs
Your Hard Working Dog
Just like human athletes, nutrition is very important to these canine athletes. A dog that is not receiving ideal nutrition will be unable to perform adequately. More than just the amount of time that a dog is working becomes important when determining what and how much a dog should eat. Factors such as bad weather, dogs that hunt in the water, and ground conditions can all put additional strain on a dog's body. A highly digestible formula is very important, with the digestibility of the fat being the most important. Chicken fat is a highly digestible fat source that is ideal for working dogs.
A study done on sled dogs showed that dogs eating a high carbohydrate diet lost body condition and showed symptoms of injury during the sledding season. When fed a high protein, high fat, low carbohydrate diet, these same dogs maintained good condition and their symptoms of lameness disappeared. (JAVMA 162:470-473)
Diet should be changed to a performance formula at least 3 weeks prior to the start of the season, but ideally sooner would be better. Conditioning should also start at the same time (after the transition of diets). Dogs suffer more from the effects of being under-conditioned than they do from the effects of hot, humid temperatures. Of course, when starting to work in hot weather, make sure to allow your dog frequent rests and carry adequate water supplies (squirt bottles work well) to give him frequent drinks.
As far as the best time to feed your dog or dogs, you have to figure out what works best for you. Many people choose to feed working dogs one time daily. Feeding at least 4 hours prior to exercise, and about an hour after exercise is completed is recommended. For dogs that are working under intense conditions, feeding 24 hours prior to exercise is recommended. Breeds that are prone to bloat, such as Labrador Retrievers might be better served by two feedings per day and longer times between feeding and exercise. Dogs that will be out working all day, especially in harsh conditions, should have frequent rest periods and snacks should be given. Small meals (10% of total daily ration) are one option for the rest period.
Most hunters have their dogs checked by a veterinarian just prior to leaving on a big hunting trip. While this is required to obtain a health certificate, it might be best to make your main check-up appointment prior to beginning the training. Making sure that your dog is in good health prior to starting an exercise program will optimize your results.
Heartworm prevention year round is a good idea for all dogs, but especially for dogs that spend a lot of time outdoors. There are many options and you can choose the best one for you and your dog.
Special equipment such as jackets, vests, and boots might also help your dog avoid injury in harsh conditions.
Above all, be smart. You wouldn't go out and run a marathon without training. Don't expect your dog to do this either. Good nutrition and regular veterinary care will keep your canine athlete in peak condition.
Please note that this information does not replace professional veterinary care. It is solely for educational purposes. Your pet's medical condition should be evaluated by a veterinarian before any medical decisions are implemented. If there is a potentially life-threatening emergency involving your pet, take your pet to a veterinarian or veterinary facility immediately.

2010-11 Fantasy basketball mock draft w/ Weakside Help: Round 7
by Jason on Aug.05, 2010, under Mock drafts
Round seven and still going strong.
It's been a fun ride so far and this middle part of the draft is where it gets really exhilarating. The pressure of conforming to general opinion from the earlier rounds is gone, but the pickings aren't yet slim enough that you can let up a bit like you may be able to do in the latter rounds. This is where you start seeing and doing things you might not have expected heading into the draft, and where big-time steals are made.
Henry got me nodding, grimacing and raising my eyebrows in round six, so I'm hoping to give him (and you) a similarly emotional ride here in round seven.
If you need to catch up, here are round one, round two, round three, round four, round five and the aforementioned round six.
I could call this round the "Dirty Dozen," since there are so many dudes being taken here that might cause you to groan in boredom and agony. But there are some exciting picks, too. Read on and hold onto your butts — this might be a rocky one:
73. Marcus Thornton (joins K. Durant, T. Evans, A. Horford, P. Pierce, M. Camby, J. Terry): Thornton had incredibly hot streaks during the last three-plus months of last season, his surprisingly productive rookie campaign. He only played 25:36 per game but managed to average 1.6 threes, along with strong shooting percentages. The Hornets barely made any moves this summer and with Luther Head no longer set to sign with the team, Thornton has very weak competition at the SG spot. This, along with the fact that CP3′s helpful return, could translate into a huge breakout season for Thornton, who should play at least 30 minutes a night and has a shot at averaging 17/4/2 along with around 2+ threes. His small name might make this seem like a reach, but Thornton put up top-35 numbers for much of last season. The Jet at No. 72 (a potential steal, though Rodrigue Beaubois' emergence worries me) and Thornton at No. 73 gives this team some scoring and three-point shooting thrust to add to KD's strengths in those categories. This team continues to impress me.
74. Rashard Lewis (joins L. James, B. Roy, C. Billups, J. Noah, K. Love, L. Deng): In all honesty, Lewis shouldn't be falling this low. Yeah, he struggled last season but he's still a lock for 2.5 threes per game along with solid FT% and 1+ steals. I fully expect Lewis to be more comfortable playing alongside Vince Carter this season, which should be good for his numbers. In fact, I think he'll easily be worth more than Deng when all's said and done in 2010-11. This team doesn't have any glaring weaknesses yet, though the health risks of Roy and Deng concern me.
75. Gilbert Arenas (joins C. Paul, C. Bosh, J. Johnson, R. Gay, M. Williams, C. Kaman): Oh yes, I went there. First the reasons not to like this pick: his knee, his love for absolutely obliterating fantasy owners in recent years, John Wall, his shift to SG, rust and a potential trade that could send him to Orlando, where he'd have even less value. Now the reasons to dig this pick: plenty of rest for his knee, career averages of 22.7/4.2/5.6 along with 1.7 steals and 2.1 threes and Wall, who will take over ballhandling duties, which will push down Arenas' turnovers and create better looks for him (read: higher FG%). Do the risks outnumber the reasons for optimism? Yes. Does that make Arenas something of a gamble anywhere north of round eight or nine? Yes. Will his numbers take a step back this season? Yes. Is there a fighter's chance that Agent Zero could end up exceeding all expectations and finish the season with top-40 value? Absolutely. Arenas is the poster child of a player who carries just as much fantasy baggage as real-life baggage, which makes him very unappealing. But with memories of his fantasy stardom so far in the back of many owners' memories and with his unappealing situation in Washington, it's quite possible that expectations for Arenas are too low. I don't think he'll completely thrive in his SG role, but I do think his knack for knocking down tons of threes and stealing bunches of balls isn't going away because of that. Keep in mind that the Wizards dealt away two of their biggest offensive weapons last season while Arenas was buried in off-court troubles, which means plenty of shots are still available for him in D.C. I loved the Kaman pick and I love this pick, especially since the team was getting a little boring. Who better to spice things up a bit than Hibachi himself?
76. Vince Carter (joins D. Nowitzki, J. Kidd, A. Iguodala, A. Jamison, A. Brooks, M. Beasley): VC has a bad reputation, and for good reason. He's a softie on the court and settles for jumpers more than he should. But for fantasy purposes, he's still a very useful player. Though he shoots the ball poorly from the field, he's still good for 1.5+ threes, 17/4/4 per game, not to mention strong shooting from the free-throw line. And believe it or not, Carter's soft play may be making him a more reliable player — he's only missed 18 games in his past five seasons. Tack on the possibility that he'll be more comfortable in Orlando this season and it's clear that Carter should be able to easily justify his selection at No. 76. Beasley (who I wasn't sold on in the sixth round) and Carter as back-to-back picks may cement this team as the least likable of the bunch so far. It looks healthy in threes and FT%, but I'm not sure if it really stands out anywhere else. Also, this team needs a center like Kanye West needs lessons in humility — I just thought it was too early to reach for one.
77. Ray Allen (joins K. Bryant, A. Jefferson, M. Ellis, M. Gasol, R. Felton, L. Scola): This team had a lot going for it heading into this round and Allen falling to it this late in the draft is a potential steal. We all know his value — threes, strong shooting percentages and solid all-around numbers, albeit in muted volumes. The one potential weakness for this squad is threes, which Allen should help shore up. Other than that, this pick really doesn't need much commentary. I just hope we can find a solid SF for this team sooner than later.
78. Paul Millsap (joins D. Granger, J. Smith, N. Hilario, D. Rose, J. Richardson, J. Crawford): The perennial sleeper should finally have a chance to wake up this year in Utah. It seems that he's set to inherit the starting PF spot and play alongside Al Jefferson, making Mehmet Okur the biggest loser on the Jazz this summer. Then again, on the off-chance that Millsap is relegated to sixth-man status yet again, this pick will prove to be a bit hasty. He'll be drafted earlier than this in many drafts, but with the addition of such a strong rebounder who mixes it up inside like Jefferson does, it's tough to see Millsap putting up steady double-doubles. No. 78 seems just right for him, and on a team that used its last three picks on guards, this is a pleasing selection. This team now has four players who can feasibly average 1+ steals and 1+ blocks per game each, which is quite sexy.
79. J.J. Hickson (joins P. Gasol, R. Rondo, T. Murphy, Z. Randolph, K. Martin, O.J. Mayo): Sorry in advance, Henry, for taking so many juicy picks this round — I couldn't resist Hickson here. The kid is this year's Anthony Randolph, though less hyped. He played well during the Summer League and showed what he can do when Shaquille O'Neal was out for parts of last season. With the PF spot undeniably his and with minutes at C coming his way, Hickson should be in for a big year on a depleted Cavs team. Inconsistency may plague parts of his 2010-11 season, but of the players left on the board you can make a very strong case that Hickson has the most untapped upside. It's a gamble but if Hickson can churn out anything close to what he's capable of, this frontline looks like a formidable complement to a solid backcourt.
80. Jameer Nelson (joins D. Williams, B. Lopez, D. West, D. Gallinari, H. Turkoglu, B. Griffin): This pick came down to one thing: if D-Will was to miss time with an injury (he's missed 20 games in his last two seasons), who would this team plug up the PG spot with? Don't get me wrong — another nice big here would've been great, but I wasn't willing to reach that far down. Nelson has his downsides: always-suspect health, two capable point guards ready to gnaw at his minutes and a very disappointing 2009-10 campaign. But even with all this, he seemed to be the best available point guard at this spot. (The other two I was considering? Andre Miller, who doesn't hit as many threes and has Jerryd Bayless breathing down his neck, and Jrue Holiday, who's still too unproven and raw.) I'm holding my nose as I click to make this pick, but Nelson gives this team some more assists and threes, and when he's playing well, he can offer top-40 value. If Griffin lives up to expectations (and I think he does for the most part), this team has most bases covered.
81. Eric Gordon (joins S. Curry, C. Anthony, T. Duncan, A. Bogut, D. Harris, K. Garnett): Boy oh boy, this team's looking as frail as Kate Bosworth on a windy day. Gordon had a disappointing 2009-10, thanks mostly to various injuries, but the appeal he offers is clear: he can score and hit threes in bunches. If he can stay healthy, Gordon should return top-40 value. His minutes in L.A. are secure (unless you think JamesOn Curry and Willie Green are set to have breakout seasons) and he's just 22 years old, which leaves big room for improvement to his already solid game. I'm with Henry in not being all that excited about this team, but if all its players can stay relatively healthy, it'll have a shot at winning a lot of matchups.
82. Trevor Ariza (joins D. Wade, A. Stoudemire, A. Bargnani, B. Davis, A. Randolph, L. Aldridge): Ariza put up strong numbers last season — if your league didn't count shooting percentages. After getting a year in Houston under his belt, and with the prospect of having an anchor in the middle if Yao Ming returns as planned, Ariza should be able to bump up those miserable percentages to respectable levels this season. Besides that he really does it all, which makes him a potentially great fit for any squad. No. 82 overall sounds just right for the budding SF, and he continues to add to this team's all-around strengths.
83. Caron Butler (joins G. Wallace, D. Howard, M. Ginobili, R. Westbrook, A. Blatche, J. Wall): Remember when people used to say "Doorknob" whenever they smelled something funky, then punch the supposed culprit of the olfactory crime? (Or maybe you still do?) Well, this pick makes me want to shout "Doorknob" at myself in the mirror while I punch my left arm till I can't feel it anymore. That's how lame I think Butler is. There was a time when he was an exciting fantasy player, but his days of putting up 20/7/4 along with 2+ steals per game are long gone. Now he's just a good player whose only guarantee is racking up 12+ DNPs per season. So why did I pick him here? Two words: contract year. Tough Juice is getting into peak shape this offseason and no one should underestimate the power of the dollar. Also, this squad needed a SF or SG to bring things together. Butler seems about right late in the seventh round, and with a year in Dallas in the books, it wouldn't be surprising to see him play a bit more comfortably in Dallas in 2010-11. This pick is a bit safe but that doesn't mean it's a bad one. (I'm still punching myself.)
84. John Salmons (joins D. Lee, S. Nash, C. Boozer, S. Jackson, J. Green, B. Jennings): He just signed a big contract and is now on a Bucks team that looks quite deep, which all seems to herald cloudy days ahead for Salmons. The good news is that his value isn't totally dependent on his shots and scoring. Playing 4:24 fewer minutes and shooting the ball four fewer times per game in Chicago than in Milwaukee still led to 12.7/3.4/2.5, along with 1.4 threes and 1.3 steals. The major bump to his value came from his improved shooting numbers in Milwaukee. With more offensive weapons around him, Salmons should maintain his solid FG%, and his other numbers should remain decent. At No. 84, he could be a downright, dirty steal. There were some more risky picks that I was tempted to make here, which would have also helped to avoid drafting two Bucks back-to-back, but it didn't feel quite right taking a big risk for this team — yet. Besides, Salmons builds on this team's strengths, which is a good thing at this point.
To recap, here are our 12 teams after seven rounds of drafting, with grades that reflect how good they look to me so far (letter grades are getting boring — maybe I'll use another rating system for round nine):
Team 1: K. Durant, T. Evans, A. Horford, P. Pierce, M. Camby, J. Terry, M. Thornton (A-)
Team 2: L. James, B. Roy, C. Billups, J. Noah, K. Love, L. Deng, R. Lewis (A-)
Team 3: C. Paul, C. Bosh, J. Johnson, R. Gay, M. Williams, C. Kaman, G. Arenas (B+)
Team 4: D. Nowitzki, J. Kidd, A. Iguodala, A. Jamison, A. Brooks, M. Beasley, V. Carter (C+)
Team 5: K. Bryant, A. Jefferson, M. Ellis, M. Gasol, R. Felton, L. Scola, R. Allen (A-)
Team 6: D. Granger, J. Smith, N. Hilario, D. Rose, J. Richardson, J. Crawford, P. Millsap (A-)
Team 7: P. Gasol, R. Rondo, T. Murphy, Z. Randolph, K. Martin, O.J. Mayo, J.J. Hickson (B+)
Team 8: D. Williams, B. Lopez, D. West, D. Gallinari, H. Turkoglu, B. Griffin, J. Nelson (B+)
Team 9: S. Curry, C. Anthony, T. Duncan, A. Bogut, D. Harris, K. Garnett, E. Gordon (B)
Team 10: D. Wade, A. Stoudemire, A. Bargnani, B. Davis, A. Randolph, L. Aldridge, T. Ariza (B+)
Team 11: G. Wallace, D. Howard, M. Ginobili, R. Westbrook, A. Blatche, J. Wall, C. Butler (B)
Team 12: D. Lee, S. Nash, C. Boozer, S. Jackson, J. Green, B. Jennings, J. Salmons (B)

The following is a KSCO commentary. Here is Kay Zwerling:
I wrote this in November 2005, and sadly it is more timely now in 2012.
Anti-semitism is an incurable social disease. How tragic that it is rampant in American universities.
Local attorney Gil Stein wrote a letter to the Sentinel in 2005 saying that anti-semitism was alive and well at UCSC and that anti-semitism was increasing on college campuses throughout the Country.
How is this possible in institutions of higher learning where parents of college students pay as much as $100,000 for four years so their children can become educated, fair-thinking members of society?
Because Gil Stein's letter is very worrisome, I will repeat portions of it along with my own thoughts so that many others in this area can be made aware of this ugly situation, which, if not confronted, will escalate just as it did in Germany in the early 1930s when I lived through it and lost members of my own family.
Please listen, then register your outrage with the local Chancellor and those irresponsible members of the faculty who say nothing about this very noticeable disagreeable issue.
Pro-Palestinian speakers receive University sponsorship while pro-Israel speakers are denied sponsorship by those same departments.
The University promotes diversity, but not diversity with which they disagree. This policy of looking the other way when certain speakers spout racist venom needs to stop.
Academic freedom should not be a cover for bigotry. All campuses should also be open to speakers who do not represent the views of the "politically correct".
I say shame on the biased and gutless faculty and leaders who encourage prejudice to fester in places of higher learning. Remember – when good people remain silent and do nothing, bad things happen and evil takes hold. It is called the Sin of Omission.
Our publically financed universities must no longer become institutions of hate and selective discrimination.
And now, let's fast forward to 2012 –
Despite the fact that anti-semitism remains an incurable social disease – all fair-thinking people must speak out and protest such despicable actions.
Denying that there ever was a Holocaust – which is really left out of textbooks in Europe at this time, does not deny that barbarism.
That is the height of shame and cowardous. Good people must denounce it instead of denying its existence.
For KSCO, this is Kay Zwerling.

The following is a KSCO commentary. Here is Kay Zwerling:
I just learned about the meaning of the flag-draped coffin. Maybe some of you knew this, but some may not.
Those who think that America is an arrogant nation should really re-consider that thought. Our Founding Fathers used God's Words and teachings to establish our Great Nation.
Be proud of the Country we live in, and even more proud of those who serve to protect our "God given" rights and freedoms. Here is how to understand the flag that is laid upon the coffin and is surrendered to so many widows and widowers:
Do you know that at military funerals, the 21-gun salute stands for the sum of the numbers in the year 1776?
Have you ever noticed the Honor Guard pays meticulous attention to correctly folding the USA flag 13 times? You probably thought it was to symbolize the original 13 colonies, but we learn something new every day!
The 1st fold is a symbol of life.
The 2nd fold is a symbol of the belief in eternal life.
The 3rd fold is in honor and remembrance of the Veterans departing the ranks who gave a portion of their lives for the defense of our Country.
The 4th fold represents the weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace as well as in time of war.
The 5th fold is a tribute to our Country in dealing with other countries.
The 6th fold is for where people's hearts lie. It is with their hearts that they pledge allegiance to the flag of the USA, and the Republic for which it stands.
The 7th fold is a tribute to its Armed Forces, for it is through the Armed Forces that they protect their Country and their flag against all her enemies.
The 8th fold is a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the shadow of death.
The 9th fold is a tribute to womanhood, and Mothers. For it has been through their faith, their love, loyalty, and devotion that has made this Country so great.
The 10th fold is a tribute to the father, for he, too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of their Country.
The 11th fold represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon, and glorifies in the Hebrews' eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
The 12th fold represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in the Christians' eyes, God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
And finally, the 13th fold, or when the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost reminding the recipient of their Nation's motto "In God We Trust".
Share this with the children you love and all others who love what is referred to, the symbol of Liberty and Freedom. One nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all. Our Soldiers have preserved your right to make this choice!
And, kudos to you Marcia for sharing this.
For KSCO, this is Kay Zwerling.

The following is a KSCO commentary. Here is Kay Zwerling:
It may be delinquent for our government to not recognize our military to the extent that it deserves by not giving it and its families higher wages.
Able-bodied young men are urged to join the military and put themselves in harm's way, but they may receive low wages and if they have families their wages may also be low compared to those persons working at desk in our now large Obama government.
When Obama used the first stimulus billions in his government to reward his buddies for helping him become President by enlarging our government unnecessarily, that was a total waste – now we have further expenses and still no new real jobs.
Now we see too many of our soldiers coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan crippled (why are we fighting so far from home?).
Many return without arms or legs with permanent disabilities and struggle financially and it does not appear that our government offers much help simply because our TV's are filled with requests for We the People to help our Veterans and continue doing so indefinitely.
To a point, We the People should be generous, but when does our government step in and also help?
For many years, I have chosen to help the Paralyzed Veterans – but lately I have been receiving every day in the mail at least 30 requests for help from Veterans associations and other needy charities.
Because of these abundant requests so suddenly, I am somewhat irritated to learn that my name and the names of other charitable Americans have been sold to many other organizations asking for help. And, that is a violation of our privacy!
It may be way past time for Obama and our federal government to step up to the plate and also help all of our needy soldiers and their families.
It is the moral responsibility of the government who sent our men into war, to take care of them and their families indefinitely if necessary – and if private citizens would like to help out, that would be compassionate, but our government must be the one responsible entity.
And finally, why can't we think carefully before we allow ourselves to go to war with other countries? Can't we see that nobody wins in wars except the companies who create the guns and ammunition? Otherwise, every side loses.

I don't see a p-trap under there either.
Mortar can be wet above the vinyl liner that is clamped into the shower drain.
I have a very slow leak in the shower pan of a tile shower. I noticed a very slight water spot on the ceiling below the shower and when I pushed on it the drywall broke. Here are some pictures of the nice stalactite that has formed over the years. The shower is 28 years old and I really do not want to have to re-do the complete shower myself, I would have to hire a tile person for that. But, I think I could handle removing the tile to a certain height and just replace the bed. The tile is just white, the new would probably look different but at this point I do not care.
I also noticed that the mortar has filled the weep holes in the drain, and it seems to be draining as it is always wet. I have not showered in three days and it still is dripping every so often from the stalactite. About three drops a day, so I guess the mortar is saturated with water and will drip for a while. From the pictures there is no leak at the drain. I am concerned about no trap here, it must be on the other side of the joist, as I do see water down in the 90 degree. Never had a sewer gas problem. I see no leak in the water supply to the shower and opening up the shower faucet, everything back in there is bone dry. And no water coming down the supply pipes going up threw the floor.
So, re-tile the whole thing or try a patch job?
Thanks, Tom
I don't see a p-trap under there either.
Mortar can be wet above the vinyl liner that is clamped into the shower drain.
If the liner is flat on the floor, rather than on a presloped bed as is required by codes (but some places seem to ignore that), the mortar can and will be wet. Unless you find there's a leak in the actual piping, the only real way to resolve this is to tear things out to about 12" above the pan and redo it. But, most people decide if they're going to tear that much out, it not much different to tear the whole thing out, update the plumbing and valve, and rebuild to current standards. The liner needs to go at least 3" above the top of the curb, then you need to deal with the liner and the vapor barrier in the walls.

Retired Defense Industry Engineer; Schluter 2.5-day Workshop Completed 2013, 2014
Looks to me to be a complete do over. I studied your pictures and you have a few issues here.
1). Home made PTrap
2). Compromised floor joists (no drilling with in 2" of the top or bottom)
3). Your repair is not working. Looking at the pictures it appears this shower has already been "Fixed"
Why not rip out the shower pan and wall tile 12"-18" up. Find a new white tile and go again. If you can afford brand new then go for it.
How about a nice barrier free shower next time?

Weekly Commentary with New Orleans Magazine's Errol Laborde
The Origins of Rex
Mr. Laborde,
I have an opportunity to purchase a REX doubloon that I am sure is pretty rare and wanted to know your opinion. Here is the description the gentleman who says he purchased at an estate sale along with many Rex ducal pins says about it:
"...The 1960 Rex doubloon is the first of it's kind. It was designed by Alvin Sharpe. Only 83,000 were struck that year with 3,000 of these anodized in gold. They were not dated so just in case they didn't go over real well they could be thrown the following years til they were gone. The rest is history. But, that year Gerald Andrus, King of the Carnival had 330 stamped with the date for him to personally hand out... I have included the paper wrapping and small inscribed paper I found it in. If you can't read it in the pic it say's "Greetings from Rex 1960"
Is the above story true?
Errol Laborde holds a Ph.D. in political science from the University of New Orleans and is the editor-in-chief of Renaissance Publishing. In that capacity he serves as editor/associate publisher of New Orleans Magazine and editor/publisher of Louisiana Life magazine.

As a kid growing up in Green Bay, WI, I could always tell when the stations hired voiceover guys from Chicago to do their station IDs because all the stations had secondary transmitters in the Upper Peninsula. The Chicago guys invariably told us those were located in MariOnette, MI.
Shelwood, when I was growing up in the Upper Peninsula one of our favorite games to play was "take a drink whenever the voiceover guy pronounces the name of a city incorrectly." Marinette, Ontonagon, Sault Ste. Marie, Baraga, Escanaba, etc.
The best was when they obviously tried to sound it out before saying it on the tv news. :)

Ryan (BS '10) - 03/21/2012
When 3M recruited on campus, Ryan (BS '10) had not been offered an interview spot despite being "preferenced". Holding out hope, he attended the pre-night presentation by 3M where he approached alumna, Susanne (BS '02), resume in hand. She scanned Ryan's vita and offered to try to fit him into the schedule. Susanne did contact Ryan and interviewed him at the very tail end of her eight hour day. A few weeks later, Ryan took an internship offer at 3M and is now employed full-time as an internal auditor. Ryan said, "Without the help of an alumna who was willing to fit in one more candidate, I would not be in the position I am today."

Today I wanted to password protect a directory on my website. I needed a web directory to be 100% secure and the only way to do that is using an .htaccess file. However, since WordPress already has an htaccess file on my site, doing this became a tricky project. After following other .htacess password protection tutorials on the net, WordPress would give me a 404 error when I browsed to the protected folder. It took me a few hours to figure out how to fix get around this. Here is a tutorial for password protecting directories in WordPress.
1. In the folder you want to protect, create a .htaccess file; I created a directory called password/ and placed my .htaccess file in password/.htaccess. Some operating systems don't let you name a file called .htaccess. One way to get around this is to create a file named htaccess.txt, upload it to your site, then rename it to .htaccess. We will edit this file later in the tutorial
2. Create a file named .htpasswd and upload it to your site. This file contains the username and password that the you will need to enter in order to access you password protected folder. I recommend putting this folder in a location that is not web accessible. For most hosts your web accessible files are stored in the www/ or htdocs/ folder. If you put this file below those folders it will be 100% safe. Again, we will edit this file later in the tutorial.
3. Put this code in your .htaccess file:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "My Password Protected Folder"
require user USERNAME
4. The bolded parts of the code are what you will have to change. Replace USERNAME with the username you will use, for this tutorial my username will be taylor. Replace /home/.htpasswd with the absolute path to your .htpasswd file. My web files are stored in /home/www/ so by placing my .htpasswd file in the /home/ folder, it makes it impossible to view with a web browser. Make sure you replace /home/.htpasswd with an absolute path and not a url like http://www.taylorlovett.com/.htpasswd.
5. Put this code in your .htpasswd file
6. Replace USERNAME with your username, I am using taylor for this tutorial. Replace ENCRYPTED PASSWORD with an encrypted password. There are many .htpasswd generators you can use on the web. My .htpasswd file looks like this:
7. The last steps of this tutorial are what makes everything work along side your WordPress installation; which is why other .htaccess password protection tutorials on the internet don't work if you're running WordPress. Open the .htaccess file in the base directory of your WordPress installation. On my site WordPress is installed in the root, so I opened the file located at http://www.taylorlovett.com/.htaccess
At the very top of the file add the following code (make sure you add this before # BEGIN WordPress:
So your .htaccess file should look something like this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
8. Finally, create a file in the root of your site called 401.html. You can leave the file blank if you want. Now everything should be working smoothly!

Department receives cutting edge equipment
Published: Monday, July 16, 2012
Updated: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 19:07
Many have taken an X-ray, CT scan or MRI at a hospital to diagnose a broken leg, but the same principle can be used to get a close-up view of individual molecules. Texas A&M University's Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics received a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectrometer that will expand macromolecular research.
"We've been working toward this moment for seven or eight years so it's very satisfying to see us finally at the position to realize the potential of the facility and the instrument," said Gregory Reinhart, professor and head of the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics.
The NMR Building, a wing of the Biochemistry-Biophysics Building, underwent construction from November 2008 to July 2010. The facility accommodates NMR spectrometers with two-story-high ceilings and space to accommodate the strong magnetic fields generated by the spectrometers. Three current medium-field spectrometers along with the new high-field spectrometer are housed in the NMR Building.
An NMR spectrometer works similarly to an MRI, but on a microscopic level.
"An MRI places the whole organism in the magnetic field. Instead of imagining the whole body parts, we are imagining the atoms within macromolecules," Reinhart said.
Applications of NMR spectrometry are primarily within the biomedical field.
"NMR is a very sensitive tool for screening drug candidates. You want to see where exactly they bind on the molecule and nuclear magnetic resonance provides a wonderful and convenient way to do that. So if you understand how a given drug candidate interacts with a protein and how it affects the structure and dynamics, then in turn you can design better therapeutic agents," said assistant professor of biochemistry and biophysics Tatyana Igumenova.
The technique can be used outside biomedical research. It can be used for anything biological from plant growth control to waste management in feedlots.
Students say having state-of-the art tools will benefit undergraduate and graduates at A&M.
"This will be a really great opportunity. We'll have a cutting edge facility once it's installed," said Mikaela Stewart, graduate student pursuing a biophysics doctoral degree.
The NMR spectrometer will take two to three months to become fully operational, as the delivery of the spectrometer is only the beginning.
"It's not a magnet now. It has to be energized, placed on the legs, reach a steady field so it doesn't drift. Other parts have to come in like the console," Igumenova said.
Reinhart said this technology allows countless possibilities for researchers.
"This new magnet will provide new capabilities and put us on par with the best centers in the country." Reinhart said. "The facility has the capacity for additional instruments of this type or even stronger instruments that are more state of the art, but you got to start with one to justify getting the others."

Sassoferrato (Italian, 1609-1685)
The Holy Family, n.d.
Chalk on paper 8 7/8 in. x 12 3/16 in. (22.54 cm x 30.96 cm)
Crocker Art Museum, E. B. Crocker Collection
Giovanni Battista Salvi, known as Sassoferrato from his birthplace in the Marche region of central Italy, was the son of a painter and likely learned the rudiments of art from him. Though the rest of his training is not well documented, he may have studied in Naples under Domenichino, a pupil of the Carracci family whose style had transformed painting in Rome. Sassoferrato himself, however, turned away from the new form of painting, preferring to base his own work on early 16th-century models. His archaizing style, combining the tranquil logic of Raphael and Perugino with the softness of his Florentine contemporary Carlo Dolci, found a ready market.
Although he did compose some large altarpieces, including a Madonna of the Rosary for the church of Santa Sabina in Rome, Sassoferrato mainly produced devotional works and was adept at varying compositions to suit the needs of private patrons. This drawing shows the Virgin holding the Christ Child as he makes a gesture of blessing towards St. Joseph. The drawing, squared for transfer to canvas, was used for a painting known in two versions, one in Chantilly and the other in Opo?no in the Czech Republic.

Cool. Its great that I get a chance to battle the old trainers from Kanto,Johto,Hoenn,and Sinnoh regions. This will be the perfect chance to face and beat my rival Misty. And great chance to meet Blue(Gary), Brock,and Red (Ash). But in order and wanted to meet Red (Ash), I have to beat Cynthia,Alder,Wallace,Steven,Lance,and Blue (Gary). If I were to win the Pokemon World Tournament, which teir of Pokemon will have the best chance of winning the Pokemon World Tournament? The Ubers pokemon,Overused pokemon,Underused pokemon,RarelyUsed,or NeverUsed pokemon. You see, I have to ask you this so I can prepare. And to get more TMs, I have to keep winning there.

I happens to support this shipping. If you Kissshipping, post it on the Kissshipping thread.
I'm truly disappointed that Red's team didn't change at all in World Tournament.
I was really looking forward to seeing the strongest Pokemon Team from.
May be , Red's Team might change in the World Tournament of 6 Generation.
It would be super cool if there is a Dragon/Steel Pseudo Legendary Pokemon like Arresterdramon that only Red can use in World Tournament of 6th Generation!
Where the hell is Bianca in this? The site says she appears in the Unova and World Leaders groups, But I have not seen her once. Do you have to do something first?
Still the Unova Champion in my book.
Not sure if this has been announced anywhere else, but the US Pokemon website is saying that there will be distributions for the World Tournament featuring the Top 4 finalists from each 2012 Pokémon World Championships age division.
